live. “Take those Turkeys off…” is a
Humanitarian Drive running through THE DECADE OF THE BIRD(S): 2015-2025 that prevents Extinction.”

Never before in The Course of Civilization have so many
People become FoB: Friends of Birds, a
Sign of Our Times. In Western Societies and in Nations of Affluence, Food
Experts advance that most People eat well every Day of The Year, having access
(if not excess) to Food that many Populations are devoid. Therefore, it is ridiculous that a “Big Meal”
has The Power to make Thanksgiving into an Endless Eat-a-Thon that many Obese
People should not be indulging in.
“Giving Thanks” has no direct Correlation to having an Excuse to Eating.
One Side is Spiritual. The other is
Physiological. Thus, at The End of
November throughout The Continental USA, a Five (5) Week-long Period begins in
which Millions of Americans eat themselves silly and then pay-The-Piper later
(if not long-term) by being overweight, lethargic and sapped of Energy that
lends itself to an insurmountable Throng of grim Medical and Health Problems.
ENTER: The Start of Morbid Obesity
that begins with a Single Bite. But
STOP! This Conversation is not weighing
in on Weight. This concrete Appeal is to
“Save The Turkey” (taken as a Collective Whole) to hold a Decade’s long Moratorium
to return The Turkey to Nature, where The Bird belongs. The Turkeys’ Final Days may be sooner than We
think, based on Millions of Executions.
And, for what? Not only is this a
losing Proposition for “The Turkey” himself who loses his Life as a Member of
an overall grand Gene Pool, but The Aftermath of such a super-sized Meal that has far-reaching Consequences to The
Planet’s Overall Life Cycle.
INITIALLY I HAD
PREDICTED AND FORECAST: Thanksgiving will
close.
THEN: Thanksgiving must close.
AND, NOW AS OF
NOVEMBER 24, 2015 @ 1:20 PM: I’ve decided that Thanksgiving must be recouped. Parts of The Celebration are worth-while, if
tweaked for The Benefit of what is served; as We are all here to “serve and protect” with The Talents We own and hone.
Therefore, Thanksgiving must recoup Thanksgiving to what it originally
was meant to be commemorated as:
A Return
to Thankfulness, pure and simple.
No Species needs to be eaten in
order to “give Thanks.”
No Species needs to be sacrificed
in order to “give Thanks.”
No Species needs to be murdered in order to “give Thanks.”
This ASKIAN Alteration would be “The New,
Improved and Best Thanksgiving of The 21ST Century as I and many other
Humanitarians and BirdLovers see it.
TURNING THE
TABLES ON THANKSGIVING:
“Thanksgiving must be readjusted as The Holiday has run its Course.
Too many People-of-Conscience can no longer stand-by seeing The Turkey being
guillotined as “The Bird” has been for hundreds of years. Enough is enough. Mistreatment of Nature has its
Consequences.”
Quote of ASK: ADRiENNE SiOUX KOOPERSMiTH
Friday, December 4, 2015 – 2:33PM CST
Furthermore, “exhausted” is how most People feel after The
Event and Party closes or ends.
A DIRECTIVE FROM ABOVE:
As a Religious Figurehead, Pope Francis wonders, worries, considers
and then asks how inhumane The Global Situation has become with Terrorism
taking Center-Stage. I would add Greed and Intolerance to that Line-up. To combat this Issue, I created:
International Thank You Days ©1994, an Eight (8) Day
Period in January (kicking off The New Year into High Gear) that salutes The 8 Chief
Professions/Occupations Man has created that add Meaning/Worth/Value to his Day;
and
SIR: Santa Is Retiring ©2014 and #Santa_Is_Retiring that places a full-fledged Boycott & Halt
on the sheer Madness and Insanity on what Christmas has turned into for many
Greed-Mongers.
Thanksgiving will someday only be a Digital Memory to
everyone…except for The Turkey, a Fatality of irrevocable Rebounds. That’s why an Alliance to redesign The
Holiday once and for all (of us) is a pressing Necessity to restore those
remaining Turkey Populations and Return The Birds to how they were meant to
live…in Nature and not in Man’s Stomachs and toxic Vacuum.
THE HISTERY, MYSTERY
& LOVE OF THANKSGIVING:
Thanksgiving can no longer be celebrated as a Take-Off of The
Pilgrim’s First Thanksgiving in 1621 with Chief Massasoit & Ninety (90) of
his trusty Warriors in Attendance.
Later, in 1863 16TH President Abraham Lincoln had much loftier
Plans for that Day’s Festivities than when President George Washington first
initiated The Day. Had the Two (2) Presidents left well enough alone, The Pilgrims
(New England Colonists who came to America for many Freedoms) Celebration would
have remained intact. Today, when Scholars
examine The Content and Logic behind The Event, The Holiday is labeled as: profane,
barbarian and highly heathen.
Thanksgiving has undergone plenty of Changes in its Evolution, but none
in Favor of The Bird, all foul-in-nature.
This Revision sets forth Man’s Priorities, long, long overdue.
AFTER
152 YEARS: 1863
had its Heyday 152 Years ago. Somehow during that infinitesimal Period, Man’s
Greed(y Inclinations) clashed with those who still have miraculously kept their
Values and Worth in-check. Similarly to
a Company, Shop or Storefront that goes “out of business,” Events can close
down. Their Interest dissipates. What they stood for no longer applies nor
aligns itself to The New Emerging Culture of Animal Equality that has emerged
on the Global Scene. The Case now goes
against The Grain of Modern Decency. The
Times change. Newer Philosophies take
light. Something better invariably arises in its Space and Place.
ENTER: “Take those Turkeys off The
Chopping Blocks Days ©2015.
That Phenom is already happening as We examine The Amount of
Vegan & Non-Meat Products that are taking hold by Popular Demand and
consumed on Thanksgiving instead of The Regular Holiday Menu. But, for The
Turkey, that Pace is not happening fast enough, as The(ir) Heads keep rolling,
as Observers relay and their Numbers shrink.
IN LIGHT OF
GLOBAL TERRORISM:
Terrorism takes many different Faces, no matter what Species
or Breed you are born as. Turkey Abuse
is another Type of Mass Murder where “The Assault” is directed on “The Animal
Kingdom” since these Creatures cannot fire an Uzi (Submachine Gun) to protect
themselves from Man. For that Reason, this
heinous Act now is labeled by Three (3) Original Words I solely created to direct Everyone’s
Attention to this appalling Situation with abysmal and disgraceful Outcomes. One is being explained below. Its Word-Mates will appear when The
Birdictionary ©1998/2015 is published in 2016 (if and when Funds are
procured by a future Online GoFundMe
Campaign that will be launched by February, 2016).
Thanksgiving’s Shut-Down will not be due to a premeditated, hideous
Jihadi Islamic ISIL Daesh Terrorist Attack although Security Forces tell us to
be more alert and diligent of (y)our Surroundings. The blatant and eye-opening Truth of removing
TURKEYS from The Thanksgiving Menu lies in:
The Irony and Ridiculousness of The Holiday itself. Many Traditional Holidays are flawed. Which
is One of the Two Primary Reasons why EVENTOLOGY, my
Literary Genre was created on Wednesday, July 25, 1990 at 9:45 PM CST. It will
soon surface that Leaders will see that Thanksgiving is just One Step closer to
The Extinction and The Annihilation of The Turkey – a magnificent Bird who did
nothing to anyone to cause (t)his Annihilation.
In The Meantime, a Ground-Swell of Common People (who can see what this
Mass Murder is leading to) are bonding together to Fight The Turkey Killers so
that “The Bird” has a fighting Chance to survive for Survival’s Sake.
“Man’s Core
Problems all started when We turned on The Lights; when Electricity lit The
Darkness of Earth’s Nights and threw Life off. But delving into The Psychology
of Man’s absurd Actions is not this Document’s Message which stoically stands
at The Side of The Bird (having his Back, per se) whose Basic Rights should be
exercised, respected and not violated.”

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: THANKFULNESS & GRATITUDE. People should be thankful for their Lot in
Life every Day. This Virtue must be instilled in Childhood, running through
Adulthood, till Death. Every Day that We
are given Life is an added Blessing where many Freedoms and Joie de Vie may be
expressed. Many other Global Populations
are displaced, not having access to even The Basics in Life as Shelter and Food.
Think about that Situation. The
Fatalities of War are never kind. Refer
to your local Newspaper Headlines that highlight The Shocking News of The
Day. Too many of us are not putting
ourselves in our Brother’s or Sister’s Shoes – of those who are suffering, as Pope Francis observes and understands
The Situation to be. Step back and find something to be thankful for. Plenty still exists without
celebrating-by-Slaughter.
FOR EVERY DAY,
THERE IS A BLESSING:
The Power of THAT.
Who and What can and
will make THAT Difference.
When, Where and Why THAT Difference will arrive
is never exactly known.
Should THAT Change begin with you?
THAT Change can begin with
you.
Giving Thanks every Day for every Day is a Privilege that
should not be taken lightly. As a Universal Motif, The Privilege of being alive
alone is a precious Commodity because so many People are not “making it” beyond
their Teen Years. Keeping alive,
fruitful and productive on the mean City Streets across The Planet and in Rural
Spaces and Places (once never touched by the Heinous Crimes Man has committed
and inflicted) is difficult. Therefore, The
New Mindset rules THAT each Day out of The Year is to
be “A Day of Giving Thanks.” Diversions from Feasting out-of-control (THAT leads
and equates to a Food Addiction THAT is
given “The Okay” for The Day), is a Group Action registering as pure Insanity. THAT Path
wrong and contains Negative Factors that cannot be undone as We have all
experienced. Taken a Step further, this ultimately destroys a Species
simultaneously, off-setting The Balance of Nature.

THE BLEAKNESS OF LIFE: This “Open Access to Awareness” is changing
in The Court of Public Opinion (where Assemblies of large Congregations of People
meet) so that Life’s Reality and Sudden Uncertainties support Animal Lovers’
Concerns who know a better Method of celebrating exists than in what We have
presently done the previous 152 years. 1
OVERHAULING
GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION:
Albeit, his Motives were honorable, Civil
War President Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of Thanksgiving (commemorated as an annual, Federal and National
Holiday since 1863)
thanks God for our Blessings, on The Final
Thursday in November.2 Today, an Alteration and Amendment are sorely
needed. Furthermore, begin with an
overhauling of The Mindset that encompasses the other 364 or 365 Days (when a
Leap Year arrives).
ENTER: The Creation of My International Thank You Days ©1994 spotlights
an Eight (8) Day Period or Stream pinpointing who (and when) to thank, that
began in The Analog Age as one of my first, foremost and most popular HOLIDATES.
Now, said HOLIDATE
is also Digital in Nature, being both online and offline as its Importance continuously
portrays. This is The EVENTOLOGICAL Mosaic to kick-off The New Year without
driving any Species into Extinction.
And, of course, no Birds are sacrificed making The HOLIDATES (all 1,900 of them falling into 34 precise
Categories) extremely appealing to those with a Conscience and Heart.
WHEN HUMANS DECAPITATE TURKEYS,
THEY ARE DECAPITATING THEMSELVES:
This registers as
a seismic Slap-in-The-Face towards The Lord (whomever you choose to hold in
that Position, if you so do) as every Day is one where We should stop, step-aside,
think, ponder and be grateful, not coerced, forced or ordered by The Chief of
State:
whether We stuff and
gorge our Selves endlessly while others on Our Planet starve; and/or
visit Homes (making
futile and useless Pleasantries) while others are homeless.
These Actions do
not fare well with Humanitarians as The Pope (Pope Francis) as he decreed in
his Sunday, November 22, 2015 Proclamation – nor me – as this Paper expresses
that Depth-of-Insight.
By methodically working
for The Betterment of The Societal Whole which is unraveling (at its Core and
Seams) when considering The Global World Crises, streaming out-of-control,
Consideration must be applied. Non-Indulgence
begins The Healing Process.
“Do I see a
Pattern emerging here?”
A 152 Year
Pattern has nearly led “The Turkey” into The Throes of Extinction.”

Incidentally, I
have seen this Malfunction coming for a long, long Time and have clocked how
Greed has severely seeped into People’s Personalities, Consciences & Souls,
taking over The World and destroying what was once decent. Did this Transgression begin in The 1970s when
Malls were open on Sundays and Praying there became more popular than attending
your Church, Synagogue or Mosque? That’s the acceptable Theory that began The
Descent and Declination of Man’s Story. Obtaining
“The Most” for One’s Self is a Selfish Act regardless of who or what one steps
over (via Acts of Killing and/or Stealing), registering as a Cardinal Sin that
is horrifying, yet condoned Today. Rest assured. “The Revolt” has started.
On Tuesday, November 11, 2014, I released an All Points
Info-Blog and its accompanying Set of ongoing, promotional Social Media
Networking Posts entitled:

“Out-of-Control Greed escalates while others suffer, abhorrently”
that runs parallel to what The Pontif at The Vatican

Becoming Viral Sensations(from across The World), these
Posts that drew Scores of Internet Interest, directing this Readership to deeply
analyze, examine and give urgent and critical Thought to the overwhelming Seriousness of what has become of Man in The
Society he has built.
A growing Number and Body of People never enjoy a juicy Drumstick;
roasted Breast or snap a Wishbone for Good Luck nor do they view a Pheasant’s Tail
Feathers hoisted into a Glass Vase flanked by silk Autumnal Leaves, all set-up
on The Fireplace’s Mantle for what is labeled as Tradition – a Tradition that
has now decreased The Turkeys’ Population in Half since the Early Days of
Colonization and Exploration.
The Historical
Perspective of Man versus The Turkey has not been in favor of The Turkey. According to The NWTF Bulletin Bulletin:3
The largest
Ground-Nesting Avian, The Wild Turkey who superbly populated The North American
Landscape greeted The First Euro-Immigrants upon their Landing, yet those Numbers
significantly dwindled due to The Defects of Colonization. Wild Turkey Regeneration finally kicked in
during the 1960s and became a Wildlife Success Story, except for the Millions
of Birds skewered each year. For some
Reason they do not matter, until now.
Turkeys Lives Matter.
#Turkeys_Lives_Matter.
As more and more Migrants arrived on The
Shores of a new Nation, an insatiable Appetite for Wild Turkeys overtook them;
thus Populations rapidly diminished. As
a delicious Food Source, these GameBirds were relatively easy to hunt
throughout all Four (4) Seasons. No stringent and enforceable Game Laws
regulated Hunting in Colonial Times.
The First Conservation Law that restricted
The Cutting and Sale of Wood were enforced by The Plymouth Colonists as early
as 1626.
Yet, as The WorkDay progressed, expansive
Woodlands were cleared for Agriculture.
Therefore, two (2) mitigating Factors:
Gregarious Consumption of Turkey Meat;
and
Turkey’s Habitat Loss
began a Decline in their Species’
Populations.
Today, The Wild Turkey can be found in uninhabited Terrains and other favorable
Regions, rating as a successful Comeback Story. However, the primary Factor limiting
Wild Turkey Populations continues to be Habitation/Homeland Loss and Mass
Consumption, keeping The Birds tally at lower levels than those living 400
years ago when America was unblemished.
As a Gamebird (from a Historical Perspective), The Turkey’s Impact and Influence
on People have immeasurably shaped Man’s Cultures and Lifestyles.
AS HISTORY REVEALS ITSELF: Indian
Tribes and Explorers/Colonists who rapidly spread across North America were
grounded in ATT:
All Things Turkey, affecting all their Descendants
from that Point-in-Time onward. Once associated with extremely well-hidden
Locales, Today’s Birds are found throughout vast Regions of Terrain - more than any other North American Wild Fowl.
The Turkey’s Adaptability and
Flexibility Ratios and Responses to their Surroundings allow them to live in
Habitats where Climactic Conditions are erratic, all affected by Man’s continual
Modern Innovations that oft-times does not consider The Creatures about him.
VALUING OUR VALUES:
If you are planning to get together with Family & Friends
in late November to host a striking, distinctive and memorable Feast,
accomplish that instead by “Going Meatless” or Vegan. The Combinations of Platters are endless.
Cookbooks on this (healthier) Topic command Prime Shelf-Space at Bookstores and
Libraries. The Choices you select affect
Life on Planet Earth that starts with The Dawn of every New Day. What do you value? Plan Alternatives to your Day. Skip that Meal altogether. Give it to another
Family-in-need. Plenty of them now exist in both large and small Towns and
Cities across our Planet. Exclusion is not an Option.
Coming face-to-face with
Evil, this Evil consumes every Living Creature (in its own Way) so that it’s a Slippery
Slope and Proposition. No Creature not immune from the dire Results of
Man-gone-wild. This is especially felt
by The Wild or Domestic Turkey (whose
Scientific Name is
Meleagris
gallopavo) who pays dearly for hefty Price Man perpetuates.4/5 This Species is now most likely
extinct. Residing in South Mexico, the
Bird was The Ancestor to the Domestic Turkey
that Spanish Explorers and Conquerors in the 1500s returned to Spain (with).
The other Six (6) Distinctive Turkey Subspecies
include:
The Eastern Wild Turkey (M. g. silvestris)
The Florida Wild Turkey (M. g.osceola)
The Merriam’s Wild Turkey (M.g. merriami)
The Rio Grande wild turkey (M. g. intermedia)
The Ocellated Turkey (M. ocellata)
The Gould’s (M. g. mexicana)
This Hands-off Policy can also be applied to Poultry, Cows,
Goats, Pigs/Hogs, Horses (all Livestock and Farm Animals), many who have been
caught up in The Ravages of Domestication.
Livestock’s Duration or Lifespan is shortened due to Man’s Carnivorous Nature
with near to no Remorse. Your Conscious
Choice affects your Optimal Health that leads to The State of The Planet.
Man is a ticking Time Bomb, ready to explode at The Snap of
a Finger. He does not have to be
harnessed into a Suicide Bomber Belt to have that escalating Amount of AHA: Anger/Hostility/
Anxiety contained – an AHA! Moment none should experience. “The State of The Times” has driven many
Individuals over The Cliff – the proverbial “Edge of The Ledge.” The Writing appears clearly on The Wall. The Answer to lead us back to a calmer Place
is shrouded in Carnage and not that observable or easily found. When Civilization erodes; what Civilization
loses is more than One Species; One Bird (or a Person, a Lion as Cecil, or an endangered
Black Rhino), but an irreplaceable Family Member. “The
List of Loss” is endless. Prehistorically,
all Creatures’ Origins date back Millions of Years. Such is how Evolution
progressed. The Bird alone can trace her
Roots back 150 Million Years to The Days of The Dinosaur. It is only now that her Numbers are severely waning,
perpetuated by Mankind’s Killing Machines and careless Philosophies, along with
The 6TH Global Extinction that is exacerbating that Toll. Known as “our Existence” and that of our
Children and Future Generations, what We do or do not do will have Cataclysmic
Effects.
THE IRONIES
POSED BY LIFE: Domestication, the Wicked Step Sister of
Evolution, is accepted. Who can live
without The Daily Sacrifices made by The Creatures who have been domesticated
for just that Reason: to feed, clothe,
house and satisfy Humans as well as being a Companion-in-need.
“When they say “Harvest”
in The Autumn,

Domestication feeds Millions upon Millions of People while
Killing off Billions and Billions of Creatures.
Ironically, Starvation is present across The Planet because these People
cannot feed themselves. That Figure stands
at: One
in Nine, are suffering from Chronic Undernourishment from 2014-2016.6 Yet FOMO: Fat/Obesity/Morbid Obesity and its
Sets of complicated Diseases are present and confronts the Medical Field daily.
Currently, too many Americans are too
fat to fight (in any major Armed Crisis) that We face, as another World’s War. Sociologists state that The Military will no
longer be able to recruit the Number of Men needed to retain Peace and
Tranquility.7
Thirty-Three Percent (33%) of US Adults are overweight while
a staggering Seventeen Percent (17%) of Adolescents/Children are overweight.
This Statistic has tripled from only a Generation ago. Less Animal Meat and more Plant Fiber in
their Diets and on their Menus would slim them down for a Healthier
Future. A Planet of Ironies confuses us
all, thus leading to a wider Array of Addictions and Personal Malfunctions that
strike Animals the hardest.
Devouring One Domesticated Species has its Implications;
that then leads to another; then spirals out-of-control. The Killing Machine does not stop. The Blood
Lust is there, already implanted while The Nation gets heftier and more
immobile. After all, there are: Carnivores, Frugivores, Graminivores,
Granivores, Herbivores, Insectivores, Nectarivores and Omnivores. Along with my newly created Terms of: Aquativores,
Birdivores and Predatorivores that play a Significant Role in my Birdictionary

WHERE DOES THE RATIONALITY LIE? Then another Animal is consumed. The Cycle continually
perpetuates itself so much so that The Cycle of Life and Death accelerates,
destroying Planet Earth as it is doing Today. The Earth of Today hardly looks
like its former Self in The 1500s. As
self-proclaimed bright and intellectual Human Beings (for the most part), We
need not perpetuate that staggering Number by losing 37,000,000 Turkeys on One
Specific Day for a 30-Minute Meal-of-Consumption. ENTER: Thanksgiving, a Holiday that needs to be
placed on The Cutting Block to remove its cancerous and diseased Parts.
Direct from The Internet, a Source for
current Figures, The Conclusive Evidence states:
On a daily Basis, Scientists gauge that 150-200 Bird,
Insect, Mammal and Plant Species
fall into Extinction,
approximately 1,000 times The Natural Standard. Leading Biologists insist this Number is greater than any The Planet
has beheld since The Dinosaurs faded (never to return) 65 million years ago.8
The Extinction Crysis
is on. The deadly Damage and Mega-Deaths
have already started with The Onset of Exploration in The 1500s. Proliferation
began immediately and sped up with the Invention of Electricity, lighting The
World for all to see what was occurring. No one was left in The Dark. But no one looked the Way or imagined how this
would change The Course of Evolution or De-Evolution, as many Scientists have
decreed.
BUSINESS AS USUAL IN WASHINGTON, DC: The Ironies of living Life perpetually divide
People whereby, The Class System becomes highly strained. Keeping this in mind, it is no wonder that
People snap, crack(le) and pop (exactly like Kellogg’s Rice Krispies’ Cereal
Brand), committing radical and heinous, sinister and sometimes deadly Actions. Various Segments of Society are in a constant
struggle as utter Chaos ensues, such as:
Families
where Parents can no longer adequately care/feed/provide for their Children;
Individuals
who can no longer adequately care/feed/provide for themselves; leading to
Homelessness, swelling Numbers across The World, whereby The Politics of War is
to blame; and
Homelessness
(across The Planet) occurs from numerous Reasons from Natural Disasters,
pre-meditated Attacks to losing a Job (based on The Economy, Stupid).
The
innocent Children suffer “The Most” as they are most impressionable.
ANY
WHERE. ANY PERSON. ANY TIME:
Homelessness persists across The Planet in greater Numbers,
especially so since Climate Change is perpetually wreaking Havoc as in: Blizzards,
Fires, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, Monsoons, Tsunamis, Ice Storms,
Earthquakes, Tidal Waves, etc. that can destroy a Family’s Home, rendering them
as a New Faction of The Tragic Homeless Demographic, a non-stoppable Tragedy
ready to strike ANY Minute of ANY Day at
ANY Time. ANY Where.
This is a Common Occurrence where no one
or Species is immune. Yet, Animals always
have a Nest or Den. Domesticated Animals
are robbed of their Natural Instinct to care for themselves. That’s what Domestication causes. If, for example, all of Mankind were to
disappear, what would Livestock and Man’s Assortment of Pets do to survive? Dependency on Man is a double-edged Sword.
Only One (1) lucky Turkey will be spared The Rod by getting “The
Presidential Pardon” at The White House before the full-fledged Festivities of
Thanksgiving fall into place. That Bird gets to “walk free,” but for how long,
it is unknown. Is this Action a Sign of
Remorse or playful Tradition linking Politics to Comedy? Thanksgiving is a Hard Course to swallow.

Then, over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC,
the “Totally Absurd” happens. The “Presidential Pardon” at The White House of
a single (sometimes a Pair of) Tom Turkey(s) make(s) National Cyber News as a frolicking Commentary

that could have been better spent by dealing with the major National and pressing
International Issues of the Day. That Time
and Effort are forever lost, as are The Lives of The Turkeys that perished for
that Thanksgiving Holiday.
TURKEYS AND GROUND HOGS: OH MY!
Identical to this sick Form of Humor is the Idiotic and
Neurotic Notion advanced every year by Humans who shake and wake a Sleeping
Ground Hog (or Woodchuck. Marmota monax in Latin – as
his Scientific Name)9 in The
PreDawn Hours of February 2 (during its Hibernation Period) “testing The Waters”
to see if The Season of Spring will arrive on time, earlier or later than its
designated March 21ST Due Date, comprises their Cruel Motive.
#1: At this Point, no
Creature must be shaken and awakened, while dormant. That is purely against how their Circadian
Rhythms work.
#2: At this Point, it
must be inserted that in many Areas of our World, Spring no longer “comes on
time” due to Global Warning. Therefore,
an entirely new Set of Strains and Constraints is placed on The Planet and The
Creatures who are attempting to readjust their Coping Mechanisms to live in
this Environment that is radically different from how they are/were programmed
by Nature.
REGARDING THAT: March 21ST Due Date:
Have People subtlety forgotten that The Calendar affirmatively
states (in a very clear Context) that March 21, The First Official Day of
Spring, is numerically only 47 or 48 Days after February 2, dependent on if a Leap Year exists for that
Year? Evidently, they have forgone this
Tip-Off. This is calculated as 6-5/7 Weeks or 6-6/7 Weeks away. That’s the
proper Figure. Use your Fingers to
calculate that, if you must. Your Calculator works just as well - in lieu of
disturbing The Ground Hog. It’s the
humane and kindly Act to take. The Bottom Line remains:
Turkey Pardoning
and Ground Hog Wake-Up Calls rate as Animal Abuse.
CONTINUING: No Creature
wishes to be disturbed from their Slumber or even a brief Nap. For Nature’s Sake, leave sleeping Ground Hog’s
lie. That’s known as respecting Nature;
respecting Life. Messing with Nature and how Nature operates does have its Consequences
and Repercussions of which We are feeling now with the unpredictable Onslaught
of all these wicked Weather Patterns and Climatic Highs and Lows that never
plagued, ravaged or tormented our Planet 50 years ago.

Humanitarians no longer think so, believing Man should be held accountable for
what He/She/They are doing to The Planet, once a Paradise & Oasis, we call
Home.
“Nature may respect you,
if you respect Nature.”

EDITORIAL NOTE:
The GoFundMe Account highlighting my
Two (2) Bird Movie Scripts and their accompanying Two (2) Bird Books contain 76
Campaigns & Acronyms as well as 20+ Birdillian HOLIDATES all
happening during THE DECADE OF THE
BIRD(S) ©1998/2015, all resourceful and original Literary and Creative
Methods to keep Birds in The Forefront of Our Lives, regardless of what and who
they encounter every Day.
The
Birdictionary ©1998/2015 contains 1,025+ useful Bird Terms (all
original that instill the Love of Birds and their Support) and is presently on
my Drawing Board, drawing to a Close, in one of its Final Edits. Tentatively, once The GoFundMe
Account
is running (circa January, 2016 – the Second Official Year of THE DECADE OF THE BIRD(S) ©1998/2015),
those Early Funds will be earmarked for its Completion.
Because this is a Ten Year-long Project, $10,000,000 will be
required to fully activate all Departments consisting of Literature and Cinema and
all that those Industry entail - for the
Benefit of Aviculture, both near and afar.
THE BOTTOM LINE
IS:
It’s all about The Birds.
It’s all about The
Content, of which Project: BIRDSTORY (as this Work-in-Progress is called) stands
out as an Investor’s Dream-come-true.

WHILE ON HOLD -- since the Creative Process does take longer (sometimes) than We Creatifs think)
UPDATE OF: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - 3:20 PM CST
A Work-in-Progress.
Full Rendition of:
#Talking_Turkey. The
far-reaching Benefits (both gluttonous & spirited) as to why Turkey Killing
& Indulgence should be finally banned in The USA for Thanksgiving. #Leave_That_Bird_alone!
will be online here at Koopersmithin' on December 10, 2015. It is late only because the Topic grew out-of-control and now (as of Tuesday, December 1, 2015) is in its Final Read-Down. But don't despair. The Basic Theme is that Turkey must be removed from your Menu if you so choose to eat this Bird. That's all explained in: 6881 Words, that as WORDS go, always need to be tweaked. Since many People will not be giving up their Wishbones & Drumsticks, this Paper will be applicable next Year (I know) and become Part of my Birdictionary ©1998/2015 that it also relates to.
For the 75 of you that visited this page, THANK YOU for your Patronage.
Dear Folks & Friends,
OK: I must admit: This Topic has gotten away from me. So much so that I did not give myself enough time to finalize the Turkey Paper as I had promised. However, I did see a Correlation between a BAT PHOTO and Tomoro's Celebration on my Facebook Page Today and am inserting that, instead.
HOPE-fully, by Monday, my Full Rendition of how:
#BIRDS_LIVES_MATTER
will appear. I appreciate your support and am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused you.
Happy - Save & Healthy Holidays to you all.
Cheers,
ASK - Chicago, IL USA

THAT FACEBOOK POST reads as:
Bat World Sanctuary:
Don’t get me wrong now, BAT-LOVERS for the Comments I am adding below. I love
BATS, too, since I was a Kid over 50 years ago and use BATS in my Fight-Racism
Movie Scripts. After all, they’ve been around for 52.5 million years. I’m
wondering if Man will even last half that long.
HOWEVER:
That's exactly what
U got to do: You got to be MEAN; quick; drink Blood from your Victims; have the
Potential to spread Rabies and fly-by-night. You need to tap into The Tribal
Part of Mankind that is scared and afraid of his very own Shadow. That way no
one will eat you.
HAD THE DOMESTIC OR
WILD TURKEY whose Latin Name is: Meleagris gallopavo done that 152 years ago
when President Abe Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving in 1863 during The Civil War
era, The Turkey would not be slaughtered and eaten for his Drumsticks &
Wishbone as so many are doing tomoro, all in the NAME of Giving Thanks.
I don't see
anything thank-ful about EATING The Innocent Creatures OF Nature and IN Nature
whose Numbers are dwindling.
